Wine Tasting Party

Salmon Souffle Torte

A while back I helped prepare the food for a wine tasting party in the sub I used to live. We sampled wines from Argentina and I found several I really liked. I thought I had saved some labels but never could find them, I hate when that happens. A good tip is when you find a wine you really like is to soak the labels off the bottle and then save them somewhere you can find them again.

If you are thinking about doing a wine tasting party it was fun to organize. We went to our local wine store and spoke with the owner there who was only too happy to put together a wine tasting party for us. We had 3 white and 3 red wines. We thought we would have about 40 people but word spread fast and we ended up with almost double that. I don’t remember now what we charged but it was enough to cover the wine and the appetizers we served. We even hired a 3 piece combo to play that were incredible. We had the event in our clubhouse and a great time was had by everyone.

I’ve given you the recipes for 2 of the appetizers we served at the wine tasting party, the Smoked Salmon Souflle below and the Blue Cheese Cheesecake both of which are great appetizers that can be made a day or two before the party. I would assemble the Smoked Salmon Souffle Torte the day of the party. This torte would also be a wonderful brunch dish.
